Quality Learning

We have finally started to get into a routine this year.  There are so many fun things going on that I don't even have enough time to share them all!  I am so excited about a few new additions to the Spanish program this year.  One of them being an iPad mini that I purchased from a grant at the University of Iowa.  It is going to help me bring more authentic Spanish sources to the classroom along with being able to keep data all in one place!

Another addition this year is a reworking of our Student Learning Expectations.  While many of our activities and routines are the same, one of the core areas we have revamped our culture standards. This is giving us more cultural experiences and enriching our curriculum.  Just a reminder of what our cultural topics are:

Kindergarten: Introduction to what is culture
First Grade: Mexico
Second Grade: The Carribbean with a focus on Puerto Rico
Third/Fourth Grade: Spain

As conferences are quickly approaching, as always, please feel free to contact me with any concerns!
